Just a Thought: Taliban

The quote attributed to Reagan was in fact, true: "These Gentlemen are the moral equivalent of the founding fathers." It's just wasn't made about the Taliban.

Sorry for the misinformation. Thanks to Buckeyein Richmond for setting me straight. When I checked this out I didn't go deep enough and for that I am sorry. Close, but no cigar.

Here is the best explanation I could find to bring it all together. from Business Insider:

As the public debates some of the more controversial ways the US deals with foreign policy and safety, it's prudent to remember some of the less than fruitful foreign policy items where America invested its time and money.

Oops! I can see more than a few wishing to gloss over that particular 'pearl of wisdom'.

As bad as Blair describing Islam as "a gentle, peace-loving, tolerant religion".Being someone who reads a section of the Koran every day - in 5 different translations so far (as well as reading daily a chapter of the Bible) I have yet to find evidence of ANY of these qualities in what I read, let alone all three of them. I'm obviously reading 'different' Korans. I'd so like to get hold of Blair's copy.

Thanks. Corrected, but you did a bit of knitpicking there. Granted photo op off by 2 years.In those days one movement blurred lines into the next. It goes on today. But thanks for catching me on this one. Cheers. and thanks for the visit.
